Lots of hits, not many misses on the red carpet today for the Oscars.

Some of my favorites:

I'm not sure what I think of Nicole Kidman's dress. Helen Mirren always looks nice. Halle Berry looks ethereal. Here's a photo of Natalie's dress. [More...]

Strangest outfit was worn by a male.

One of the few misses: Melissa Leo. Another: Reality tv star Giuliana Rancic. Helen Bonham Carter looked better than at the Golden Globes, but still a bit strange. Reese Witherspoon's dress seemed dated. (Added: Cate Blanchett's dress was awful. It looked like a bib or something out of the Sound of Music.)

Handsome: Justin Timberlake, Robert Downey, Jr.

Very pretty: Melania Trump.

Looking radiant: Annette Bening and Warren Beatty and new parents Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.

Who did I miss and who were your faves?

At first I didn't like Nicole's dress (none / 0) (#1)

But on second look full length I did. I think it depends on the angle they shoot it from.

I like those wine colored dresses like Natalie Portman's and Penelope Cruz. I want to know how Penelope achieved that razor straight line cleavage effect. Kind of mesmerizing.

how she lost her baby weight so quickly. She really looks terrific.

always. Even as Storm in the X-Men.
I am still in awe of her appearance for her 2002 Oscar win.

I like her style, whatever she does. She's an outrageous original.

Scarlett Johansson. I didn't know it was possible for her to look that bad. Granted, she still looked 1000% better than most people would, just by showing up, but I thought her outfit was pretty terrible.

I loved Gwynneth's dress and Halle Berry of course was stunning. Another hit I thought was Mila Kunis.

Javier Bardem looked like he put on a little sympathy weight, but as my friend said it's "happy fat" and both he and penelope looked radiant and gorgeous enough to pull off any excess chin.

Melissa Leo's dress. I have a tablecloth that looks a whole lot like that. Maybe she was channeling Scarlet O'Hara, but instead of a dress made out of curtains, she had one made out of a tablecloth.
